dc.description.abstractMentoring has a longstanding history and is being hailed as an important strategy for teacher professional development. Anderson and Shannon (1988) mentoring model summarised three major components on the roles of mentoring. In this qualitative study, we focused on two mentoring relationship, which are as a ‘Care Giver’ and a ‘Nurturer’. We then explored these components from two different perspectives, the senior mentors and the junior mentors. Both groups were tasked to mentor teacher candidates from the graduate initial teacher education programme known as the Master of Teaching or MTeach, offered at a university in Brunei Darussalam. The three senior mentors were categorised as the more experienced while the four junior mentors were the less experienced and categorised as new graduates from the MTeach programme. Data were collected from an open-ended survey aimed in obtaining their views and experience in their journey as an MTeach mentor. The findings revealed that both groups gained mutual benefits from the mentoring despite the differences in their experiences, such as both were able to have time to reflect on quality of teaching and learning, gained a new enthusiasm for teaching, learnt new ideas and gained new perspectives on teaching and learning.
